The list of games confirmed for the upcoming Switch 2 is currently short, as Nintendo has only recently lifted the curtain on their next console after months filled with rumors and leaks. However, a few games have already been announced.
Nintendo’s reveal on January 16 centered primarily around the hardware, spotlighting just one game. Despite this, a handful of developers have confirmed titles for the Switch 2 before the console’s announcement, and we can expect more games to be unveiled in the coming weeks. For those eagerly anticipating more news, there’s a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2 that might shed some light.
In our list of Switch 2 games below, all confirmed titles are included. If none pique your interest just yet, remember that the new console boasts backward compatibility. While this might not seem like the most exciting way to leverage its more powerful specs, it ensures you have something to play while waiting for your most anticipated exclusives to drop.
On January 21, we updated our list to add “Synth Beasts” into the mix of confirmed games.
### Current List of Confirmed Switch 2 Games
The initial trailer for the Switch 2 left many wanting more than just hardware details. Here are all the games confirmed so far for this new console:
That wraps up the confirmed titles for now. However, there’s ongoing speculation about whether games currently announced for the existing Switch will also make their way to the Switch 2.
### Speculated Switch 2 Games
Looking at Nintendo’s history, dual-console launches aren’t uncommon. Titles like “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” released on both GameCube and Wii, and “Breath of the Wild” launched simultaneously on Wii U and the original Switch. Therefore, even if a Zelda game doesn’t follow this pattern, highly anticipated titles like “Pokémon Legends: Z-A” and “Metroid Prime 4” could significantly boost the Switch 2’s game library in its first year, especially if they harness the console’s enhanced capabilities better than the current-gen versions.
While this remains speculation until officially confirmed, we expect more information during the Switch 2’s Nintendo Direct in April. Even if some games stay exclusive to the original Switch, you’ll be able to enjoy them on the new hardware thanks to backward compatibility, making it easier to upgrade without losing access to upcoming Pokémon and Metroid titles.
